5 Phase up

[JohnC]

I built this mill from Hugh's plans. It's 5 phase, 500 watt version.

Lots of fun building even more fun watching it run.

I have this mounted at the edge of the lake where the wind blows constant from the gully of the lake 95% of the time.  

Not too tidy but here's a pic of my power box, I just finnished recharging the smaller battery for my boat .

I'm quite pleased with the outcome, you can sneeze and it will start up.

You can't even hear the blades whirl.

Very nice work I'd say

I wish I'd get that far along

Just to many toys I guess

Good Job! I like the tail design. What size blades are they? Looks like 5 foot? Keep sneezin..

[JohnC]

These are 8' dia. blades.  Was going to go too 10' but it not necessary for me. This setup is at my campsite, that I only goto on the weekends, and I now have lots of power:~)

Well done John, I kinda like the wall to wall carpet. Pics took along time to download. Can really zoooom in on them though. What kind of disconnect switch is on your system.

[JohnC]

The green knob is a battery disconnect. I unscrew this first then short out the gennie with the breaker box.
